Special Events Volunteer

As a Special Events Volunteer you will help make our many activities and events a reality.  These events are not only a lot of fun, but also help to promote the New Canadians Centre and/or raise money.  Examples of some past events include Dance Around Africa!,  Multicultural Canada Day (with over 10,000 people in attendance), One World Dinner, our Annual General Meeting, a trip to the Ottawa Tulip Festival, and a visit to the Maple Sugar Bush.  Being a Special Events Volunteer may involve:
•    Promotion and outreach
•    Setting up and closing down venues
•    Organizing activities (for example, children’s face painting at Canada Day)
•    Preparing food
•    General clean up

Although events don’t happen every month, volunteers are always needed.  In fact, without volunteers these events could not take place.
